It’s okay to say “I was too young to really remember Lamont Green at Southridge”. Lol. Anyone who saw those Southridge teams in 92-93 knows that Lamont Green, the Davis Brothers and Sedrrick Irvin took a back seat to nobody.
I would argue losing Lamont Green on NSD to FSU was probably a Top 5 worst day in recruiting in UM history because it was a domino effect. Every elite kid from Dade followed him that year..He took Magic Benton, Samari Rolle, and Troy Saunders with him. I was so sick that morning after I called in to the Bill Buckhalter dial in recruiting show when he did that automated voice telling you who signed where for the Orlando sentinel that I called out from work. Was too sick.
If it wasn’t for Omar Rolle committing to us that day it would have EASILY been the worst recruiting day in my lifetime. Dennis wouldn’t have survived that aftermath in this era.
